Very nice, thorough set of stats you've compiled there. In the more detailed graphs I have I decided to omit the unspecified because I wasn't sure how to handle them.

There is a fairly high percentage of users that don't specify certain elements but I decided to report only on those users that actually did specify details. Maybe there is a case for this but I'm still undecided.

You and I should also look at combining our work together and releasing a definitive document each month on FB usage stats. I was going to look into expanding to other countries as well but seeing as you're doing this already maybe we should explore a closer working relationship.

What do you think?

Have a look at http://thekillerattitude.com/2008/02/facebook-s... for a global snapshot around the same period.

Also, if you are interested to compare SA to Sweden, I had a closer look at Sweden last year (http://thekillerattitude.com/2007/10/facebook-s...)
